How to Tweak Mouse Movement

In typical keyboard-mouse control system, mouse movement is always used to controlaiming and turning around. It is simple, but this is the core of FPS games.

Before going into details I’d like to introduce a formula:

Mouse Movement in game = mouse DPI × game Sensitivity × Cross Hair HIP/ADS

● If you have a configurable mouse, please follow Step 1.● If you have a mouse which can not be configured, just skip Step 1.● If your mouse is configurable but have no on-board memory in it that meansyour settings will be lost when the mouse is unplugged from PC, remember to setits DPI to maximum by using the DPI button on it every time you use the mouse withCross Hair.

Step 1. Mouse DPI / CPIDots per inch (DPI) is a measurement of how sensitive a mouse is. The higher a mouse’sDPI, the farther the cursor on your screen will move when you move the mouse. A mousewith a higher DPI can detects and reacts to smaller movements. While unstable signalsmight also be caused when some mouse is set to its MAX.

Normally, we recommend setting your mouse DPI to 5000 and above. As showed below:

Logitech:

Razer:

Corsair:

Step 2. Game SensitivityIn the options of different games, it is called by various names, such as : Look Sensitivity,Aim Sensitivity, Look-Around Sensitivity, or just Sensitivity. It’s the speed of turning aroundin the game.

We also recommend you to set it as high as possible to harness all the potential of yourgame.

We have many demos of setting this option in game.ReaSnow Cross Hair Changing Games Sensitivity:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_W7SvvWDzBOgxdSxBSr11E7rg7czSpYV

Step 3. Cross Hair HIP/ADSAfter step 1 and 2, we now come to Cross Hair HIP/ADS.

And if you can accept the turning speed, please choose a value for HIP/ADS assmall as possible to have a fine aiming.

There are 2 ways to change Cross Hair HIP/ADS.

WAY ONE – using PC software (Manager):

Cross Hair has 2 parameters : HIP Sensitivity and ADS Sensitivity

Normally, Cross Hair will activate ADS sensitivity, but when the ADS mode is enabled ingame by a corresponding key, that will be your mouse right button by default. This isdesigned to improve the control of some weapons with optics.

The bigger the value, the faster the mouse movement. You can change them to a suitablevalue, according to your mouse and game.

HIP: Shooting without aiming opticsADS: Shooting with aiming optics

ADS sensitivity is normally bigger than HIP to get a faster speed in ADS mode.

YX Ratio:It’s the ratio of mouse's speed in Y and X directions. Do not change it, unlessyou understand its meaning.

WAY TWO – using controller in Config Mode:

1. Any time in game(Cross Hair LOGO is breathing), just press SHARE+OPTIONS（PS4platform）keys on your controller to enter CONFIG MODE and the LOGO’s light will beturned off in this mode.2. Use the Dpad keys on controller to change HIP and ADS sensitivity of Cross Hair.3. After changing HIP and ADS to you liking, just press the combination keys（SHARE+OPTIONS for PS4 platform）again, and you will exit the CONFIG MODE, andreturn to PLAY MODE.

PS. We recommend you to use CONFIG MODE to change Cross Hairsensitivity, that’s an easy and convenience way to do it. Please refer toUser Manual for more details.

PS1. Advanced Settings – Curve Editor

Relationship between Mouse Speed and Cursor Speed on screen in HIP and ADS modescan be changed separately by these two curves.

Generally speaking, we will provide a straight line in most default configs, it can provide1:1 mouse movement and cursor movement on screen while using a mouse for aiming, soif cursor speed on screen is acceptable please use a straight line.

but you might need a different curve in some games or in some conditions.For example, if you need faster turning speed to control a vehicle, or if turning speed ofsome games is limited, you can change the curve like this:

This curve means it will keep 1:1 nature while mouse speed is low and that makes aimingeasy. And at the same time, when mouse speed is fast, the cursor speed will be boosted.That will help you to get a faster turning speed, but you will have no 1:1 control whenthese white dots are not on the straight line.

● Reset：curve will be reset to its default.● Import: Import a curve which is exported by you or others.● Export: Export a curve and save it in your PC.

PS2. More about CurveMouse Speed: it’s the speed your hand moves the mouse.Cursor Speed: it’s the speed of cursor showed on screen, it can also be called Turning Speed ingame.d1 ~ d21, these 21 dots represent the relationship between mouse speed and cursor speed.

A1: Min mouse speedA21: Max mouse speed

B1: Min cursor speedB21: Max cursor speed

Figure 1:In this figure, d10 represents if mouse speed = a, cursor speed = b.Faster mouse speed will bring faster cursor speed, and they have linear relationship.

This straight-line relationship can provide 1:1 mouse movement and cursor movement,It is suitable for most of the situations.

Figure 2:In this figure, if mouse speed = a, cursor speed = b’, and b’>b.So you will get a faster speed b’. cursor speed is boosted here.

This curve will help you to get a faster turning speed with the cost of sacrificing 1:1 control.

Figure 3:In this figure, if mouse speed = a, cursor speed = b’’, and b’’
